Aquatic Hues and White Cabinets
“This is a beach house, so we were looking for
something with a lighter, more whimsical feeling. We settled on an
aquatic look, with a hand painted ocean mural that has an aquatic,
blue-green background. There are starfish and shells, and the
hardware on the base cabinets is fishes. The window that’s just to
the left of the backsplash gives a clear view of the ocean, which
enhances the color theme. The theme also fits the client’s
personality, in that she’s a little bit whimsical; her desire was to
do something different.
The whole color scheme of the house is white, which partially
contributed to choosing white cabinets, but we also didn’t want the
cabinets to make such a strong statement. By using white, the
backsplash and hood become the focal point. Sometimes the cabinets
are the trademark, sometimes the countertops or backsplash or
appliances—it’s different in every kitchen. It’s just important to
emphasize one.”
